Chapter 140: Unintentional Encounters
That stunning face can be mesmerizing even with sarcasm, Nangong asked not to say anything more, as long as Mia could be in his arms, he was content, there was no need to upset her anymore.
Mia was forcing herself to be calm at the moment, but her heart was actually breaking, her heart breaking at the thought of Asher, but her thoughts were out of her own control, constantly recalling every move she had ever made with Asher.
Besides, Asher, who had been thrown out of the room the moment Mia had pushed him out, was now leaning against a bench in the hallway, his head bowed in frustration, his long lashes hiding the dark shadows in his eyes, his melancholy aura radiating from him without reservation.
Mia’s actions had added another layer of burden to his already tired body and mind, he was now carrying both emotional and professional stress, dozens of unread messages had accumulated in his phone, he had not bothered to check them, he had received a call from his secretary yesterday telling him that the company was not going to hold up.
None of that bothered Asher, losing Mia would not see a bit of color in his world anymore, he rubbed his forehead and decided to try one more time to explain to Mia, after all, once he solved what happened five years ago, everything would be solved.
Asher pushed open the door to the room, then stared in disbelief, covering his heart and nearly falling over.
On the bed of the ward, Mia and Nangong asked embracing each other, Mia’s hand wrapped around Nangong’s neck while Nangong naturally wrapped his arms around Mia, what stung Asher deeply was their movement, the two red lips that were pressed together made Asher almost feel the urge to tyrannize and kill.
“What are you doing!” Asher slammed one hand on the door of the hospital room, waking the two people in the bed who were deep in a kiss, and bam, causing the nurse on the other side of the hallway to come running over at breakneck speed.
Mia loosened her hold on Nangong asked and looked up, her eyes narrowed flirtatiously, her slender eyelashes jumped in the sunlight, strangely charming, she gently licked her lips, her voice enchanting and flirtatious, “As you can see. But isn’t it a rude thing to disturb someone’s lovemaking?”
Disrespectful? She was caught kissing another man and he caught her saying it was rude of him! Nangong asks as his anger reaches its peak and rushes over to Mia’s bed without thinking, just to pull her up from the bed and question her.
Nangong asked leaping up and pulling him, dragging him out of the room, shooing back the doctors and nurses who were gathered at the door watching, and looking coldly at Asher, “You should leave Mia alone, you will only bring her harm, while I will protect her well.”
Asher punched Namgung in the face and snarled, “Bullshit! Who are you that Mia would look at you?”
Nangong asked wiping off the blood from his nose, also enraged, he gave Asher a punch back and backed away, sneering back at him, “Will you look at me, you just saw that she no longer likes you, if you still want some face, you might as well never appear in front of her again.”
Asher looked as if he had been poked by those words, what he had just seen was that Mia had indeed taken the initiative to kiss Nangong asked, she looked at him without a trace of emotion in her eyes, as if she really had no feelings for him anymore.
Asher turned away in disorientation, not noticing the complex face of Nangong asked behind him.
Nangong asked, pulling out a Kleenex to wipe away the nosebleed, pushing open the door to Mia’s hospital room and walking in.
Greeted by a low apology from Mia, “I’m sorry.”
Nangong asked, sitting back in the chair next to Mia’s bed, shaking his head with a bitter smile, “It’s okay, I’m willing to do whatever you do, not to mention this kind of thing, it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted isn’t it?”
His comment made Mia feel even more guilty and she sincerely apologized again, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have used you against Asher, but I really didn’t have any other way to do it, and he couldn’t have died without it.”
The moment Asher opened the door again just now, it was Mia who forcefully pulled down Namgung’s head and tilted her head to kiss him, yet it was just their lips trying to press, not at all the tossing and turning Asher had seen.
Yes, Mia is deliberately kissing Namgung while Asher is coming in, thereby killing Asher for good.
She knows that this will make it hard for Nangong Man who is being used, Nangong Man has always tried to take care of her and protect her, but now he has to be used for his feelings, it must be very bad, I Mia is actually a very hard-hearted person except for Asher.
Nangong asked shaking his head and shaking it again, “It’s okay, you don’t have to mind, I volunteered, I like you of my own free will, being used by you is also of my own free will, I will give you whatever you want, as long as you want it, as long as I have it.”
Such an undying emotion moved Mia to tears, it wasn’t just guilt towards Nangong asked, I believe any woman, even if she didn’t have feelings for that man, wouldn’t be unmoved hearing such deep words of love.
Over here Mia is listening to Namgung asking for a heart-to-heart, while Asher is listening to being scolded on the other side.
As soon as he exited the hospital, he was immediately dragged into the car by the driver who had been waiting outside the hospital for a long time, the driver was exclusively for his grandfather, Grandpa Jun had been in a state of shock and anger since the press conference and immediately had the driver come over to the hospital to wait for him after inquiring about Asher’s location.
The reason Grandpa Jun didn’t let the driver go into the hospital to invite someone was because he knew his grandson’s emotions like the back of his hand and acquiesced to do what he could to salvage his relationship with Mia in the hospital.
Grandpa Jun has been cursing Asher grumpily since he got him back. The Sakura Shang Group is Asher’s heart and soul, but that doesn’t mean Grandpa Jun doesn’t know what’s going on with it.
After the press conference, Sakura Shang Group’s credibility is severely damaged by Asher’s personal reputation issues and profits plummet, and while it’s simply not enough to shake the Jun family to its foundations, the fact that his grandson abandoned the kingdom for a woman is still enough to make Grandpa Jun vomit blood in anger.
“Asher! Do you even know what you’re doing! Are you doing this to your conscience? How many people in the Sakura Shang Group depend on you for their livelihood, how can you let those tens of thousands of people live with this disheveled look on your face now? How will others look at you?” Grandpa Jun slapped the desk, his voice was terrifyingly loud and did not match his old form.
Asher was muddled and made no reply at all, only standing in front of Grandpa Jun with his head bowed in silence.
On the sofa were still sitting Jun Haotian and Lily, both of them were scared by Grandpa Jun’s anger and did not dare to say anything, they were also very angry about Asher, but at this time, seeing Grandpa Jun’s appearance, not to mention adding fuel to the fire, they did not even dare to say one more word.
Grandpa Jun continued to slap the case: “If you don’t think about yourself, do you want to think about me, an old man, too? I can leave your Sakura Shang Group’s collapse alone for now, but you have let your reputation be tarnished to such an extent that I have to be despised by my chess friends even when I go out to play chess.
A brief moment of consternation and speechlessness appeared on the faces of the room, including Asher’s. What kind of reason was Grandpa Jun giving for lecturing his grandchildren like that?
The underlings on the side who still didn’t know the seriousness of the matter peeked around and pursed their lips, their family’s old man had always been so cute.
Asher had only that slight movement of expression for a moment, then returned to a facepalm, and couldn’t tell if he was listening to Grandpa Jun’s lecture or not.
The house was in an uproar when the doorbell rang and the subordinate who opened the door came in to announce, “Miss Lina is here.”
Grandpa Jun huffed and stopped his reprimand, after all, family shame must not be revealed, while Jun Haotian and Lily stood up and greeted them, politely joking with Lina, “Miss Lina is here, ah, come in and sit inside.”
The family doesn’t know if Asher did those things or not, but they don’t hate her enough.
Lily scanned the wretched state of the house and smiled sarcastically, “Lena don’t laugh, Asher the little brat is carrying his grandfather’s reprimand, sit down while I have someone get you something to eat.”
Asher heard Leena come in and turned around in annoyance and tried to go back to his room, Grandpa Jun took a look at him, this is not good enough, the parents were present and he dared to leave on his own before he had given the word, is he not not putting him Grandpa Jun in his eyes.
“You stand still!” Grandpa Jun growled.
Asher doesn’t listen, or rather his mind is too scrambled with Mia to listen, and heads off to his house.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Grandpa Jun stood up and yanked him to his feet and raised his hand to punch Asher in the face.
Jun Haotian had seen the first signs, so he naturally couldn’t let his son get beaten up in front of Lina again. He quickly clutched Grandpa Jun’s hand that was almost about to swing out, and said soothingly, “Dad, please calm down, this kid should not disobey your words, looking at him like this, his heart is obviously not here.”
Grandpa Jun became even angrier at these words, jerking hard at the hand clutched in Jun Haotian’s hand and grunting, “How dare you listen to me and be distracted, this kid really deserves a lesson!”
Jun Haotian took a death grip on Grandpa Jun’s hand and brought him back to sit in front of the couch, passing Asher a wink to signal him to hurry up and get out of Grandpa Jun’s sight.
This time Asher accepted it and he turned, not glancing at Leena who was looking at him blearily, and went upstairs to his room.
Once inside, he locked the door behind him and collapsed on the carpet.
Asher’s body was weak, but he didn’t want to care, losing Mia made him feel better about starving himself, than the fact that he was now feeling like he was being lynched inside to make him feel better.
His phone rang again, the ringing sounding harsh and distracting in this room, and Asher, in his daze, actually looked forward to the fact that it was Mia calling him, so he just pulled it out and pressed the answer button to his ear.
